The Deepnlr OF ecience.

Rheumatism and Neuralgia, two remorseless
demons OF human suffering, have puzzled the
masters OF medical science. They are finally
agreed that the first is blood disease, and that
the second is an affection OF the nerves. For
their cure until recently the faculty prescribed
silnilarremedies Principal reliance was placed
on external applications in both affections
Lately several ofthe most distinguished physi-
clans of Philadelphia have prescribed nitro
glycerine to neuralgia patients
Now. the dynamite, or nitro-glycerine, treat
ment Of the old-school faculty has not yet re-
suited in any cures. Skeptical sufferers from
acute neuralgia or rheumatism, in the MAORI
ty OF cases, would prefer to have the dynamite
placed directly upon the affected part and ex-
pl0ded promptly. Cures are, after ALL the vim
dieation of a new departure in the healing art
The Compound Oxygen treatment solves the
question as TO the complete eradication of both
rheumatism and neuralgia from the system,
Drs. Starkey IL Palen, 1929 Arch street, Phila-
delphia, Pa, send Home Treatment Which
can be used with perfect ease and safety at the
patients residence. The effects OF the Com
pound Oxygen are felt Immediately; the sys-

RIAH's CONCLUSION.


Riah soused his grubbing hoe under an ae-
gravating persimmon root, pried away medita-
lively for moment, then leaned upon the han
die, while his forehead slowly wrnkled to its
bald summit.
"Wukin' nd studyin' don gee sumhow," he
at length said. ''Studyin' all'ys git upper
han"
Then again he pondered long and laboriously.
Use hat it now!" he exclaimed last, slap
ping his thigh and splitting vigorously on one
hand as though about to fall to once mere,
which, however, he did not, but
slowly seated himself, letting the hoe
handle fall between his legs. Else

He ESCAPED the Tran.

The George and McGlynn men in New
York, have made an audacious attempt to
strengthen their cause by judicious use
of William O'Brien, and that gentleman
has fatty refused to allow Irish sympathy
to be used as a tail for their kite. What
substantial thing it would have been for
the land communists if they could have
controlled the platform Of a vast meeting
of Irish sympathizers and labor union men
assembled to do honor to O'Brien's pluck
and to organize labor With their most
blind and eager followers nearest to the
speakers, they would have lead the cheer
ing for DR.. MEG lynn's widest appeals, and
for the most violent of revolutionary reso-
lutions on land and labor, while Ireland
would have received just enough sympathy
to give the cause Of home rule its death
blow. No more serious disaster could
overtake the Irish cause than the betrayal
of leader Of O'Brien's prominence into
an apparent endorsement of the faction
that is now menacing law and order in New
York. Ex-senator Grady hit the nail on
the head with his accustomed vigor, when
warmly commencing O'Brien's action, he
said that lreland's cause should not be
mixed with any other. What a hue
and cry there would have been in the
British press from the London Times
down if O'Brien had consented to
appear on the platform with a
chairman who had lately been chair
man of a meeting addressed by the no.
torious Number One of the Ph9nix Park
murders. II the incident serves to dis
credit still further the assertions of the
Times it will be worth the risk, but it is
likely that the demonstration will be mis-
represented. In any event it has given Mr..
O'Brien a splendid opportunity for refus-
ing association with dynamiters and deny.
ing sympathy with the ant-poverty ia.
natics.

Il b apparent that great deal Of money
y saved to corporation interests by the
failure Of the bill to become q law and
this fact has suggested that it did not
honestly fail. The omission Of the sigma
ture Of the president of the Senate was dis
covered by Governor Beaver, and it is bis

that 1t was a very technical
fault in the enactment of the

elAred that the courts will not take notice

bCoad seal Of the state Is affixed to law.
The same omission has heretofore occurred
and has been held to be covered by the
